I always make it a point to assure the pro that I will be happy to play with anyone he wishes, but I actually prefer to play alone. I find that I can concentrate exclusively on studying the course if I am not distracted by a playing partner. If do play with someone, I prefer to play with one of the pros or a very strong player. I like for him to play from his tees and I play from mine so that I can see the course from the perspective of players of different skills. I like to arrive early and play before members are on the course so that I can take my time and not risk disturbing members. After I play, I prefer to thank the pro (and any hosts) and hit the road. I don't like to be quizzed by those wanting to know how I rate the course. I usually deflect those questions by saying something positive, but non-committal, about the course and explaining that I will not complete my rating until I have a chance to review my notes. I am not an architect and don't try to play one by suggesting changes to the course. If pressed, I have been known to recommend removal of trees. If the super tells me of a change he wants to make, and if I agree, I will invite him to quote me to the members, if he thinks that will help his case.
I have had the pleasure of playing with some delightful members and staff at many courses. However, as agreeable as it was, I don't think I did my best job of rating the course in those cases. I never join in a match, because I don't want to be concerned about how I play.
Sure, I enjoy a tour of an historic club house, but in most cases I don't get past the pro shop and the locker room. I am there to see the course, period.
